HC Deb 22 February 1956 vol 549 c370
38. Mr. Dodds

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what consideration has been given to exhibiting in Gibraltar, for the information of the people, plans in respect to the Port Development Scheme; and what has been decided in this respect.

Mr. Hare

The Governor has considered this. The plans for the Port Development Scheme will be made available to the public in Gibraltar as soon as the final details are complete.

Mr. Dodds

In thanking the Minister for that Answer, may I ask him if he is aware that many people in Gibraltar are deeply grateful to his right hon. Friend for the splendid efforts which he is making to help them solve their serious economic problems, but that they are disgusted with the procrastination of the Admiralty with regard to oil bunkerage space for commercial purposes?

Mr. Hare

I do not think that the latter part of the hon. Member's supplementary question is very fair, but I know that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will very much appreciate the generous tribute which the hon. Member paid in the first part.
